Chords

Written by Carole King Performed by Rick on "For You" (1963) I believe it has a very close arrangement to Lonesome Town. Capo 4th G Em G Em
G    Em         G   Em
Down home oh oh down home

C                 D         G    Em
There used to be rivers and trees

 C     Cm        G    Em
fresh bread every single morning

 C         D          G   Em   G  Em
and sweet magnolia in breeze

       G       Em        G    Em
Oh oh fishing lines and young dreams
